wow. i wish E.R. in my area was as nice as some of you make it to be.
iwantyourcar's experince seems to be the normal service from what i have seen.
my lil cousin was hit by a car and had a broken leg. she sat in the waiting room for 4 hours next to a guy that had a bullet wound in his back. they both sat there for hours waiting to be treated.
my aunt had bad stomach pains and went to the E.R. after waiting 6 hours (pain was gone by then) she found out she was pregnant.
my brother took a tumble off the tobogan slides while we were mountain biking down them. landed on his shoulder and cracked his helmet.
he went to a local non E.R. hospital. doctor examination, x-ray, and he was home in a lil over 2 hours.

On top of what everyone else said, you & your wife should look in to spinal decompression. It has worked wonders for people with herniated discs and other spinal injuries.

I'm doing that right now for a pinched Sciatic nerve that sends shooting pain and numbness down my right leg. The jury's still out.

I hope you aren't really needing to sell things to cover the costs. Crappy.

well i got a lot of things laying around that i really don't need, Jewelry, electronics, etc.
it wouldn't have been as bad if my wife would have signed up for coverage like I told her to, but I'm not going to give her a guilt trip about it.
